Overview:
France - the world's most popular
tourist destination - can confidently claim to offer it all,
from glam beaches and storybook castles to widescreen
countryside and city chic. It's a country of dramatic
juxtapositions - the expansive boulevards of Paris, the timeless
greenery of the Loire Valley, the wide slopes of the Alps, the
lavender fields of Provence, the gourmet restaurants of Lyon,
the rugged charm of Corsica - and one which, when taken as a
whole, presents a near-perfect visitor package.
Paris itself is one of the globe's truly great cities: a
multi-layered realm of high fashion, historical riches and haute
cuisine. But seen in a wider context, it's just one of many
world-class tourist destinations that France has to offer. "How
could one describe a country which has 365 kinds of cheese?"
once asked former French president Charles De Gaulle. It's a
good question.
Few places cram in as much scenery, history and culture as the
United Kingdom. England's southwest is dominated by a rugged
shoreline and ancient history, while the UK's sprawling and
ethnically diverse capital London sits amid the rolling hills of
the cosmopolitan southeast.
Brash and forward, the people of the north England are among the
friendliest, and the wild and windswept Northumberland coast,
Peak District and Lake District are brooding and beautiful. But
it is the highlands of Scotland where true British wilderness
remains - harsh, snow capped and often inaccessible.
Art-drenched Edinburgh is a stunning city to explore, and the
larger islands of the Hebrides attract walkers and whiskey
lovers.
Enchanting Wales features energetic Cardiff and industrial
Swansea to the south, and jagged peaks of the Snowdon Massif to
the north. Across the water, stylish Belfast is a forward
thinking and exciting city, and Northern Ireland's countryside
is every bit as intoxicating as the UK's mainland.
